Had You Been Around - Diana Ross

I might have known a lot of things

Been smiled upon by kings and queens

Had you been around

Perhaps had you been by my side

My dreams might not have been denied

Had you been around

I’ve wasted many years, tasted many tears

And I want to know

Lost on my own before I knew of you

I might have heard the sigh

Of someone passing by

Had you been around

And though it seems absurd

I really never heard

A sound

Until that day

You came my way

With bless I never found

And it might have been

Had you been around

Had you been around

Perhaps had you been by my side

My dreams might not have been denied

Had you been around

I’ve wasted many years, tasted many tears

And I want to know

I’m lost on my own before I knew of you

I might have heard the sigh

Of someone passing by

Had you been around

And though it seems absurd

I really never heard

A sound

Until that day

You came my way

With bless I never found

And it might have been

Had you been around

One more time

And it might have been

Had you been around

Do it

And all might have been

Had you been around

Had you been around
